BUADSTREET'S WEEKLY REPORT
NEW YORK. Oct. 7. Bradstreets to
morrow will say. With the exception of
some parts of the south, where the heavy
storms and yellow fever, with resulting
quarantine check distribution, a very
largo business appears to be doing, though
complaints of a narrow margin of proiit
e well nigh unanimous, Whllo bank
clearings of September point to slightly
smaller business done In the country over
that of year ago, this week's figures
point to a fair gain over last year and
therefore over all previous records for
this week of tho year. The volume of dls
trlbutlon as a whole Is well up to or above
that reportod a year ago In most sections,
and therefore far In advance of recent
orders proceeding annual periods. As for
some time past tho moat activity la per-
ceptiole In the west and northwest and on
(ha I'Sdflo coast, particularly at I'ugrt
sound and Columbia points.
